Orthopedic Surgeon Joins Phelps Memorial Hospital Staff

Known for being at the leading edge in orthopedics, surgeons at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center excel at performing advanced, complex procedures, from sports injury surgeries to joint replacements. The breadth of orthopedics continues to expand with the addition of orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Hochfelder to the Phelps medical staff.

Dr. Hochfelder brings expertise in hip and knee replacement and hip arthroscopy. He is also experienced in a procedure called ACI (Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation), a treatment for cartilage damage that is an option for people who are too young for knee replacement.

After receiving his medical degree from New York University School of Medicine, Dr. Hochfelder served his residency in orthopedic surgery at Hospital for Joint Diseases Orthopaedic Institute and a fellowship in hip and knee surgery at the Insall Scott Kelly Institute, both in New York City.

Phelps’ excellence in performing joint replacements was recognized in July in the annual hospital rankings published by U.S. News & World Report, which rated Phelps as High Performing for hip and knee replacement. The same report ranked Phelps 16th out of 250 hospitals.
